Description

This feature proposes a native solution to streamline workflow by allowing direct bookmark creation within text files.

Proposed Solution

Implement a right-click context menu option "Create Bookmark" for text files

When selected, insert a visible but non-intrusive marker (e.g.,  🔖 [username] YYYY-MM-DD ) at cursor position

Bookmarks should:

Be distinguishable from regular text (e.g., via syntax highlighting)

Not interfere with file content or compilation

Support quick navigation through dedicated panel

Benefits

Eliminates dependency on third-party extensions

Provides more visible and manageable markers than TODO comments

Maintains file portability (markers persist in plain text)

Improves workflow efficiency for code review/annotation

Additional Context

Suggested marker format:

 [BOOKMARK]: <optional_message> 

Example:  [BOOKMARK]: dev01 2024-02-20 Need optimization here 

Would appreciate thoughts on:

Preferred visual styling for bookmarks

Potential keyboard shortcuts

Integration with existing navigation features
